Our mission is to transform SAISD into a national model urban school district where every child graduates and is educated so that he or she is prepared to be a contributing member of the community. This edition of the Parent- Student Handbook contains important policies, procedures, and other guidelines for District parents and students. The Parent-Student Handbook shows our commitment to serving our community and providing information that assists in understanding the various District processes and procedures. We hope that this handbook will serve as a guide to improving your experience in the District. Should you have questions concerning areas not addressed in the handbook, please contact your campus administrator or teacher for assistance. We are fully committed to our parents and students and will work diligently to meet your needs. Sincerely, Pedro Martinez Superintendent OUR PLEDGE TO PATRONS We are dedicated and committed to making our families and partners know they are valued in SAISD.
